About Rob
Rob Burman has spent most of his life working with clay and helping create great characters for the makeup effects industry, continuing a three-generation legacy in Hollywood effects. Having sculpted literally hundreds of pieces throughout his career, from masks to monsters, from the cartoon to the ultra-realistic, Rob eventually founded his own business along with his wife, Jennifer McManus, Rubber Wear, where consumers can purchase high-quality foam latex prosthetics for film, television, theatrical projects, haunts, and more.
Rob is also a passionate educator, and in addition to his course series for Stan Winston School, he frequently hosts in-depth, in-person courses on makeup effects through his company, Rob Burman’s Laboratory.
Rob’s work can be seen in Star Trek, Jackass: The Movie, Donnie Darko, Super Mario Bros., Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Batman Returns, Brain Dead, John Carpenter’s genre classic The Thing, and more.
